Has the source of the WH Union Bashing been identified?

Are we sure it's not just another RW attempt to divide the left?

1. No, but the WH admits it was said and Gibbs basically says the Prez agrees, or haven't you watched

the clip? I think, by the phrasing, and the fact that the WH did the calling, it seems to be Rahm. No one is denying it either. This was one of the reasons the Prez met with Labor Leaders in private today. I hope a fly leaks something about that meeting.It must have been a humdinger.

2. No, I didn't see the clip. Guess I'm just (justifiably) paranoid.

3. My guess is Rahm too. It was he that said :Who are they

goint to go to if we don't do what they want". He was at that time talking about the unions too. I know La is a RW State, but they could easily ave just ignored the race like they did Spector's and I think Lincoln would have lost. I have to believe Clinton is pissed!

6. Ignore like they did Specters?

They just as much had their horse in that race and i thought it was pretty clearly known that they wanted Specter. I mean he was the incumbent and they are all about the incumbent protection racket.

8. I don't remember Clinton speaking at a rally for Arlan, and the

media was all ove the WH complaining that Obama had not come to Pa. the speak at a Spector gathering. They even complained that the Prez flew over whee Arlan was an didnt stop to syump for him. Maybe I've just forgotten, and maybe it was just Clinton's influence inAr. that helped her out more.

4. That's a reasonable conjecture

But then there are people on the left who are very keen on outrage and get a lot of energy from being pissed...so they're easily set off.

But the timing of this leak was suspicious...

5. It hardly a "leak" when the senior advisor CALLS the press, which is what happened.

7. Thanks for weighing in.... bottom line is Unions need the ...

...Democratic Party and vice versa.


What mystifies me is why that now the Dems have control, have they turned into Republicans?

I personally believe the middle is WAY left of where either party claims it to be.
